About QUINST

Quantum mechanics is at the heart of our technology and economy - the laser and the transistor are quantum devices - but its full potential is far from being realized. Recent technological advances in optics, nanoscience and engineering allow experimentalists to create artificial structures or put microscopic and mesoscopic systems under new manipulable conditions in which quantum phenomena play a fundamental role.

Quantum technologies exploit these effects with practical purposes. The objective of Quantum Science is to discover, study, and control quantum efects at a fundamental level. These are two sides of a virtuous circle: new technologies lead to the discovery and study of new phenomena that will lead to new technologies.

Our aim is  to control and understand quantum phenomena in a multidisciplinary intersection of  Quantum Information, Quantum optics and cold atoms, Quantum Control, Spintronics, Quantum metrology, Atom interferometry, Superconducting qubits and Circuit QED and Foundations of Quantum Mechanics.

QUINST is funded in part as a “Grupo Consolidado” from the Basque Government (IT472-10, IT986-16, IT1470-22)  and functions as a network of groups with their own funding, structure, and specific goals.

Seminar

"El tiempo y su medida", talk by J. G. Muga

When and where

30/03/2022

Description

ABSTRACT:

 En la primera parte de la charla se habla del tiempo en un contexto muy amplio, que abarca la filosofía (¿qué es?), el arte (¿cómo se representa?), la religión (¿cómo trata de superarlo?), la Ciencia (¿qué caracteriza al tiempo de la física? ¿qué problemas plantea?), y su importancia en la vida diaria,  en la tecnología y sociedad actual. La segunda parte se centra en su medida a lo largo de la historia, y finalmente en los modernos relojes atómicos, de los que se explica su funcionamiento básico.
